In a couple of weeks I will be doing a workshop with some elderly people and so I thought we would make a small Christmas card (3 1/2" x 3 1/2") using the new ornament stamp set and punch I bought recently. I have made a few different ones to see what I like the best.

Here are all three:

Supplies:

Stamps: Delightful Decorations, Come to
Bethlehem

Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green

Cardstock: Whisper White, Very Vanilla, Crumb
Cake, Cherry Cobbler

Punches: Ornament

Other: Markers, Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder,
Dimensionals

Here they are in more detail.

First card:

This first one uses very vanilla cardstock, although it is probably hard
to tell in the photo. This is probably my personal favourite as I think it is a bit more
elegant with just the very vanilla and cherry cobbler and without the gumball green.

Second card:

With this card I thougth I would include two different colours of ornaments and use whisper white card.

Third card:

This final card also uses whisper white and has the ornaments the opposite way around. I have also added the the string to hang the ornament from with matching markers. I wonder if it spoils it a bit. I think adding some Baker's Twine would be good, but I don't have it in gumball green and it would be a bit fiddle to do with the elderly group, but probably effective. I will have to try that one too sometime.

I used the cute duck stamp from the Easy Events set. I didn't want the sentiment below the image, so I used my basic black marker to ink the image part of the stamp and then stamped it. I did it three times to have them swimming in a row. I was trying to line them up, but it didn't quite work. In the end I think it looks quite effect like this. I also coloured them with markers. I love the way the embossed background gives texture to a card. I would really have liked to include the number 1 on this card to show that it was for a 1st birthday, but I didn't have anything I could use. Memorable Moments would be perfect for this and is on my wish list.
